Recent epidemiological studies suggest that chronic pain is a clinically under-recognised cause for cardiovascular morbidity and mortality. Up to 30% of patients undergoing surgery report chronic pain, but the impact of pre-existing pain on postoperative cardiovascular outcomes is not known. Chronic pain and cardiovascular dysfunction share fundamental pathological mechanisms. Chronic pain is a modifiable risk factor for perioperative cardiovascular morbidity.
近期的流行病学研究表明,慢性疼痛是心血管发病率和死亡率的一个临床上未得到充分认识的原因。高达30%接受手术的患者报告有慢性疼痛,但术前存在的疼痛对术后心血管结局的影响尚不清楚。慢性疼痛和心血管功能障碍有共同的基本病理机制。慢性疼痛是围手术期心血管发病的一个可改变的危险因素。
